Where would I be if the Lord had not...

Ever had one of those times when you are reading the Word and something just stands off the page, grabs you, and hits you right in the heart? Today I was reading Psalms 124 and this part of verse 2 just hit me hard… it says "if the Lord had not been on our side". It got me thinking where would I be if God had not became real to me and had not delivered me from the pit I was living in before I knew Him. I have no doubt that my life would suck to put it bluntly. I would be divorced and probably making a mess out of my life with the help of "substances." I would be a horrible mother and I shutter because I know that Jimso would not be a part of my life. I would not have finished school and would probably be repeating the same dysfunctional cycle of life that my family has been trapped in at times. I would be contining on my quest searching for love and satisfaction in all the wrong places.

But thankfully God had another plan for my life. Thankfully he saw me, delivered me from the pit, and is creating something beautiful from what was the mess of my life 12 years ago…..

"You are Everything" by Matthew West~

I'm the one with two left feetStanding on a lonely streetI can't even walk a straight lineAnd every time you look at meI'm spinning like an autumn leafBound to hit bottom sometimeWhere would I be without someone to save meSomeone who won't let me fallYou are everything that I live forEverything that I can't believe is happeningYou're standing right in front of meWith arms wide openAll I know is Every day is filled with hopeYou are everything that I believe forAnd I can't help but breathe you inBreathe againFeeling all this life within Every single beat of my heartI'm the one with big mistakesBig regrets and bigger breaksThan I ever care to confessOh but, You're the one who looks at meAnd sees what I was meant to beMore than just a beautiful messYou're everything good in my lifeEverything honest and trueAnd all of those stars hanging up in the skyCould never shine brighter thanJesus, You are You are everything
